I'm sorry to all, but that thing looks so 1970's to me. Looks like the visors they used to put on leisure vans. All you need are some window louvers and a viking scene airbrushed on the side.

They make the smaller one, but they also made a replica of that one. PM Ken and ask.

The one pictured above is different than shine auto's. The factory option is a dark transparent plastic. I've got one on my car:

it comes with 2 mounting tabs and a bushing when u buy it at the dealer, so i used double sided tape to hold itto the top of the hatchand it uses a round rubber bushing in the center of the spoiler to keep it from sagging. so i had to make the bushing and use double sided tape to hold it in place.

Yeah, its just two strips of 3M tape. there are three holes around the edge. I'm only using the one in the center, It's a two inch long vacuum plug (you can get a pack of various sizes at autozone (to cap off un-needed vacuum sources on manifolds or wherever else), this is on the bottom of the spoiler, i then have a screw that goes through the top of the spoiler and into the rubber piece, this makes is so the wind can't push the back of the spoiler down and peel the tape up on the front edge.

I've never seen the brackets for the two holes on the sides.

Choose one tail spoiler OR the roof. Not both. Really ruins the lines. Looks JDM Ghetto.
If you do choose both, get spinners on your Dubs and some neon under the rockers.

Anyone has the brackets or can describe the brackets for the two holes on the side?

you dont need to use the ones on the sides. Mine's been fine since April, you just need a rubber spacer in the middle hole so the spoiler doesnt flex downwards at speed and peel up the tape in the front.

you'll also notice the white car in the first post doesn't use them either.
